This book addresses new technologies being considered by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for screening airport passengers for concealed weapons and explosives. The FAA is supporting the development of promising new technologies that can reveal the presence not only of metal-based weapons as with current screening technologies, but also detect plastic explosives and other non-metallic threat materials and objects, and is concerned that these new technologies may not be appropriate for use in airports for other than technical reasons. This book presents discussion of the health, legal, and public acceptance issues that are likely to be raised regarding implementation of improvements in the current electromagnetic screening technologies, implementation of screening systems that detect traces of explosive materials on passengers, and implementation of systems that generate images of passengers beneath their clothes for analysis by human screeners.

Congressional advocates of enhanced airline passenger rights have introduced legislation in the 107th Congress that proposes remedies to a variety of consumer complaints. Most of the bills include provisions requiring prompt and truthful disclosure of reasons for delays, cancellations, and diverted lights. Others, found in some of the bills, include: preventing airlines from assessing a fee against, or prohibiting a ticket holder from using, only part of a ticket; requiring airlines to make available information on all fares offered through any media (phone, internet, etc.); and giving passengers the right to exit flights delayed on the ground beyond a certain length of time. Some bills would increase penalties for violating aviation consumer protection law or increase the airlines2 liability for mistreatment of passengers ...

A Vietnamese Refugee, a Viral Video, and the United Airlines Scandal That Started It All “His refusal to give up his seat on a United Airlines flight, and the ensuing assault he suffered, is emblematic of how far we, the people, still have to travel to create a world with liberty and justice for all.” —Marlena Fiol, PhD, globally recognized scholar and speaker and author of Nothing Bad Between Us Dr. David Dao was dragged off United Express Flight 3411 on April 9, 2017 after refusing to give up his seat. In the tradition of contemporary immigrant stories comes a personal narrative of the many small but significant acts of racial discrimination faced on the way to the American Dream. The unseen effects of discrimination. The United Airlines scandal of 2017 garnered over a million views on YouTube. A result of an overbooking overlook, security officials forcibly removed Dr. Dao after refusing to give up his seat. He awoke in the hospital to a concussion, a broken nose, several broken teeth, and worldwide attention. Things aren’t always fair for an immigrant, but according to Dr. Dao, you can prevail if you firmly advocate for yourself. A response to a lifetime of oppressive acts. Why was Dr. Dao so adamant on his right to a seat? His entire life had led to that moment. A Vietnamese refugee, he fled his home country during the fall of Saigon. He was stranded in the Indian Ocean, immigrated to the United States, enrolled in medical school for a second time, built a practice, and started a family-all the while battling the effects of discrimination and what he had to embrace as a result. This is his story. If you are moved by immigrant stories, or books like America for Americans, Minor Feelings, How to Be an Antiracist, or The Making of Asian America, then you’ll want to read Dr. David Dao's story, Dragged Off.

Congressional advocates of enhanced airline passenger rights have introduced legislation in the 107th Congress that proposes remedies to a variety of consumer complaints. Most of the bills include provisions requiring prompt and truthful disclosure of reasons for delays, cancellations, and diverted flights. Others, found in some of the bills, include: preventing airlines from assessing a fee against, or prohibiting a ticket holder from using, only part of a ticket; requiring airlines to make available information on all fares offered through any media (phone, internet, etc.); and giving passengers the right to exit flights delayed on the ground beyond a certain length of time. Some bills would i n c r e a s e penalties for violating aviation consumer protection law or increase the airlines' liability for mistreatment of passengers. During the 106th Congress, the Air Transport Association (ATA), which represents the major air carriers, successfully forestalled major legislation using three major strategies. First, the ATA took issue with the perceived extent of consumer dissatisfaction by comparing the relative number of complaints reported to the Department of Transportation (DOT) to the high passenger volume. Second, the ATA argued that most delays were due to the weather and to the air traffic control system. Finally, to mitigate the perception of some Members of Congress that legislation was needed, the ATA proposed a voluntary "Airline Customer Service Commitment," hereafter referred to as the Service Commitment. All the major carriers would develop customer service plans that would include their commitment to promises such as offering the lowest fare available; notifying customers of known delays, cancellations and diversions; providing on time baggage delivery of checked baggage; and being more responsive to customer complaints. On February 13, 2001, the DOT Office of the Inspector General (IG) released its report on how well the airlines have met their Service Commitments. It concluded that, while the airlines were making some progress on some of the Commitments, that there were significant shortfalls on others. Two bills, introduced following release of the IG's report - the Air Customer Service Improvement Act (S. 319) and the Fair Treatment of Airline Passengers Act (S. 483) - incorporate many of the IG's recommendations, including provisions to make the Service Commitments enforceable. After incorporating a significant number of provisions from S. 483, the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation reported out S. 319, on Fewbruary 13, 2001. After two summers of record delays, cancellations, and consumer complaints, these indicators have improved significantly during the first half of 2001. It remains to be seen if this improvement will be enough to forestall the proposed legislative remedies in the 107th Congress.
